What is most important to you in your life?
I want to go further with my education. I want to reach college.
Realistically, what do you expect from your future?
A very good future for me would be if I make it to college. That would change many things. Every day I try my best to make it happen.
How do you spend your free time?
I get a Bible and start reading. Or I listen to the radio.
If you want to reward yourself by doing something special, what do you do?
I work hard in my field. If I receive something from parents in appreciation [like a sack of potatoes], I feel good.
Your country is said to be very sunny - what do you think about that? How does that affect your life?
Sometimes there is not enough water. The crops dry fast.
